IV lidocaine versus IV dexmedetomidine for pain control during sleeve gastrectomy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional comparison gives participants one of two intravenous infusions—lidocaine or dexmedetomidine—around the time of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. Adults aged 20–50 with BMI 35–50 and ASA physical status II–III are enrolled and monitored for pain scores, opioid consumption, sedation, and adverse events in the early postoperative period. The protocol tracks safety issues such as cardiac conduction and hemodynamic stability as well as analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. Patients with cardiac conduction disorders, cardiomyopathy, chronic opioid use, allergy to study drugs, or pregnancy/breastfeeding are excluded.
